Saw the 8.30 session on the 16th. Liked it. Alot. 82% is my rating.
+ action scenes
+ special effects (CG was awsome, but unfortunately overused)
+ yoda!!!
+ space chase scene (except for the whole sound in space thing!
)
+ that cool blue drink ben drank in the bar
+ jango with his helmet on
+ very starwarsy (e.g. 3po's wisecracks, young jedis in training, yoda fight scene
+ irony (e.g. obi to anakin - "you'll be the death of me, Anakin"
- jango with his helmet off (ugh.....cheezy, crass, not what a bounty hunter should be)
- soppy romance aspect, almost painful to sit through, so forced the dialogue was
- dialogue in general
- cinematography (for the most part was VERY good (see above), but more wide angle shots of the battle scenes and saber duels were necessary.)
- too much CG (transition in the poppy field scene with Anakin and Amidala was too marked, yoda's movement didn't really work as it should have)
- threepio's wisecracks (head to body - "oh my goodness, i'm beside myself!" hehehe.
I've mentioned a fair few critcisms, and I'll add to both once I see it again. Bottom line is, however, the ep2 r0x0rz IMHO! 82% is a VERY high rating for me, and as soon as my ears stop ringing (the volume was set on MAX or somethin in the cinema - the air literally vibrated when a shuttle went past.....bass baby) I'm going to see it again.
